how can i change complete package name of an android app?

Question

I have decompiled an voip calling apk file with Apktool and I tried to change its package name but I am getting an error that unfortunately app stopped...

What I did that search the package name inside all the files (root dir)and replace every occurrence with new package name by with notepad ++.

Here is the problem that app use to communicate their server same as package name so it would cause an error "unfortunately stoped!!! "

How can I replace only that package name without effecting other name that have the same package name.

Thanks in advance.

Right click on your project, navigate to `Android Tools` and select `Rename Application package`. — Jibran Khan, May 15 '15 at 05:07
Use development IDE (Android Studio or Eclipse) instead of notepad ++ for renaming package. — Haresh Chhelana, May 15 '15 at 05:10

You don't n required to manually replace the package name in every source file

Right click on the package name ---> Rename --> Type your new package name & choose Refactor

(This option will automatically replace all references associated with the package name including in manifest file. )
